I heard they have 95% off 6' HDMI cables, now on sale for only $29.99.
I'm not even kidding you, they had a male to female 12' USB extension cable for sale for $39.99.When it comes to little things such as a hdmi cord, dvi or other cables like that I never go to bestbuy. They charge an arm and a leg for it so I feel you on that lol.
They've had those same MacBook Pro deals for the past couple weeks ($150 off + another $150 off for students). It's nothing special; there have been eBay deals with 20% off brand new MacBook Pros across the board for the past month.
The reason they can charge that much is 1) they make sure they don't have any other options (i.e. brands) in stock and 2) Very often it's the only choice for people who "need it now". Hell I even saw "Monster" brand stuff at Target, and I was like WTF... I can wait a few days and order it online.When it comes to little things such as a hdmi cord, dvi or other cables like that I never go to bestbuy.

Looks like they've got the NVidia GTX 980 reference card going for $275, not a bad deal. That's a nice card.

Though, I'm not sure it's really part of their "50 year" sale.
Might just be their clearance price...
I ordered one, replacing my 4+ years old samsung. It's seem nice with decent reviewed.27" monitor for 139, not bad I think.. wish I had the extra cash..

I picked up the Corsair Gaming Strafe RGB Chery MX Silent Gaming keyboard. I figured I'd see how it compares to the Corsair K70, and @ $84.99, why not.
I'm considering that 40" Westinghouse TV. Should it's not great. Only 60Hz refresh rate. Probably won't make a great monitor. But for $150? Might be worth it.
I really like mine.
Almost tempted to pick up another.. but I really, really don't need it.
NIce, yeah there are some good deals on Logitech stuff. The G933 is $140 which I think is the lowest price I've seen on those new headsets.Picked a G910 and G602 tonight for $109 and $39.
Man so many Best Buy haters lol, its OK I used to hate Best Buy again but now I love 'em, they've done a real 180 imo when it comes to customer service and now that Amazon charges tax in most states, there's little reason not to buy from Best Buy anymore imo.
Here's some easy and creative ways to get great deals at Best Buy
1) Price Match. Best Buy actually advertises and honors this, unlike Amazon who shadily flips flops on their policy over and over again. For those who were talking about ppl who know what they are doing going to Micro Center, not even true!! You can price match BB to MC on CPUs and GPUs and rack up points on the transaction too!
2) Best Buy Elite. Great program, especially if you get the Best Buy Visa card. Spend $1500 or $3500 on anything with the Visa card and you get the benefits of Elite, 45 day returns and free 2 day shipping. Its like Prime without having to pay with Prime. Oh and you get 2% more in rewards on BB purchases. I put my ISP bill on the BB Visa and that gets me $2400 of the way towards the $3500, so I'm always Elite Plus.
3) Best Buy Card. No fee, but they constantly spam you with Reward Cert offers just for using the card OUTSIDE of Best Buy. So for example, they'll give you $20 in reward certs just for spending $400 outside of BB. No biggy, ISP bill + groceries + nice dinner that month and free $20 to spend at BB.
4) Reward Cert Bonuses. They also spam you with double and even triple rewards in a month or in a single transaction. So instead of 5% you may get 10% or even 15% rewards on a purchase.
5) External vendor rewards, like VCO or Amex offers. VCO for example is offering $10 off $100 if you check out with VCO. My Amex Blue Cash also offers $25 off $250. Load Amex cash on VCO, check out with VCO and spend $250 and you get $35 back with a few % back in rewards too.
6) Gamers Club Unlocked. Used to cost $60, now costs $30, I got it for free with my PS4, but this is a great deal. 20% off new games evein if they are on sale, this includes Special or Collector's edition. Pip Boy Edition for $105 or something was great! This is the biggest reason Amazon started offering 20% back for Prime members on Pre-orders. I just picked up Uncharted 4 for $32 in this sale, not bad for a newish game that is still popular!
7) $10 on Reward Cert on big release pre-orders. They have a list that constantly rotates but generally you can get big AAA games on launch day for $38 effective ($48 aftrer GCU and $10 in reward certs), free shipping and release date delivery too with Elite Plus
8) 6, 12, 24 month 0% financing if you need it with BB card but you forego points. Some ppl just like to finance stuff to make purchases easier to justify or wrap their head around. On stuff like big appliances and expensive TVs it may make more sense and they offer longer financing for those too usually. I personally like to use my accumulated rewards and then get more rewards by just using standard 1-month payment option. For example, I bought a $1000 4K Samsung TV earlier this year and paid $730 out the door because I had built up so many rewards.
9) Great deals on mobile phones, and again...points!!!!
So yeah, use your imagination, there are some awesome deals to be had at Best Buy!!!!!!
lol read the thread again?Who said they hated them? Lol...

Picked up one of those and the Corsair MM300 for $96.30 ($98.26-$.98(Ebates CB)-$.98(Chase Freedom Ultimate Rewards)) Should be here on Tuesday. Only down side is I have to drill another cable pass through in my desk because the depth of the mat. Oh well the current one will be covered.
lol read the thread again?
tired cable hate
asking how they stay in business
they're the only option for consumers who have no clue
etc.
In reality, Best Buy is a great option for the enlightened ;D
WTF are "MX Silent switches"? I gather they are not red or black...are they tactile and silent? I've been waiting for a price break on the Strafe RGB on Amazon in MX Brown...which this would be awesome...
lol do you need a multi-quote to help you out? Same tired jokes about best buy when in reality there's tons of ways to get numerous deals and price matches, if you know what you're doing.God you make no sense..
I actually like best buy, never had a price match problem like I have had with Micro Center. I have Frys, Micro center, and best buy all nearby.
